Saku University accepted one faculty member（Dr. L, an assistant professor at St. Louis College）from the Kingdom of Thailand, as a short-term overseas researcher under the auspices of UMAP（University Mobility in Asia and the Pacifi c）. We discussed with her education and research for maternal health and midwifery nursing because those are her areas of specialization. She observed several classes and give lectures to our students about the practices of midwifery and nursing education in Thailand. We planned collaborative research and started the research project entitled“Factors related to depressive states during pregnancy and puerperal periods”. In this research, it is necessary to disseminate questionnaires to women in pregnant and puerperal period. We are now continuing this research in Japan and Thailand using the same questionnaire in respective languages. Another exchange activity during Dr. L’s stay included her participation in regional maternal and child health promotion activities during which ideas were exchanged with Japanese midwives.
